'Hightown' comes to Starz in a queer-friendly crime drama set in Provincetown. Read THR's review:
poses the question of who its intended audience is. The generous answer would be "everyone." Set in the gay hotspot of Provincetown, Massachusetts, on the tip of Cape Cod, during a crowded summer, the series is chock-full of racy lesbian sex and half-naked revelers in assless chaps, but also features more than its share of gratuitous stripteases to satisfy the male gaze.
One liaison between Provincetown's two biggest constituents is "fish cop" Jackie , who spends her days inspecting fishermen's catch and her nights seducing vacationers while sloshed and high .makes her every bit the hard-partying, compulsively womanizing antihero craving redemption, and the fact that she's a queer Latina unfortunately doesn't complicate her character very much.
The state trooper who Jackie believes isn't taking the case seriously enough is Ray , another iteration of the deeply flawed cop, this time in the traditional, craggy-faced straight white male package. Ray had an inappropriate personal connection to the dead addict — one he seems unable to stop himself from replicating with a stripper named Renee , who happens to be the girlfriend of, and co-parent with, the imprisoned gang leader Frankie .
